Arctan2 Calculator (atan2 of y and x)
atan2(y, x) is not atan(y/x): it reads the signs of both arguments to place the angle in the right quadrant over the full −180°…180° turn, and it stays defined when x = 0. Enter x and y, read the angle in degrees or radians, see the quadrant and the point plotted. For a single ratio with no quadrant information, use the arctan calculator instead.

Frequently asked questions
What is Arctan2 Calculator (atan2 of y and x)?
atan2(y, x) is not atan(y/x): it reads the signs of both arguments to place the angle in the right quadrant over the full −180°…180° turn, and it stays defined when x = 0. Enter x and y, read the angle in degrees or radians, see the quadrant and the point plotted. For a single ratio with no quadrant information, use the arctan calculator instead.
When would I actually use this?
Reading a number written another way: a Roman numeral on a monument, a hexadecimal colour, a binary byte, or a fraction that needs reducing.
What is the most common mistake?
Assuming a decimal fraction survives a change of base. A tenth is exact in decimal and infinitely repeating in binary, which is why 0.1 + 0.2 is not 0.3 in most programming languages.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Common Factor Calculator is the closest one after this: Find every common factor of 2 to 10 numbers, with the greatest common factor highlighted and coprime pairs flagged.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Divisibility Test Calculator and e Digits Calculator (Euler's Number) — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Base conversion and number-theory results are exact. Roman numerals follow the standard subtractive form used since the Middle Ages, which is not the only one the Romans themselves used.
